Breathe  Words & Music by Batya Levine   Breathe, breathe, breathe in Breathe, breathe out   Let it go, let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go   Trust in what's coming Trust in your knowing It's deeper and wider and holy   180. Pearl in the Dark Words & Music by Sarina Partridge   Part 1: I'm gonna dive deep, a little deeper Into the grit and the mud and the muck that I don't wanna see 'Cause I think there's a seed, there's a teacher There's a pearl in the dark shining!   Part 2: I will lean into this darkness, this darkness A seed is shining, there's a pearl in the dark shining!   Part 3: Ooooh, shining like a pearl Ooooh, new leaves unfurl Ooooh, a new way is possible - there's a pearl in the dark shining!   52. Ocean Wide Words & Music by Eli Marienthal   Open the ocean wide in us,  open the ocean wide. Take all the pain inside of us,  take all the pain inside.   Open the ocean wide in us, oh,  open the ocean wide. ​Take all the pain inside of us,  take all the pain inside.   126. Meditation Words & Music by Neal Jolly   The beat of the heart in the chest, The pulsing of blood in the hands, The in and the out of the breath, The here, the now, the you.   21. Song Deep in Your Bones Words & Music by Elise Witt   When you're feeling dry, there's water in the well. (4x) ​ No rain from the sky, just a tear in your eye, all alone, far from home, you roam. Feeling tired, uninspired, like you're drifting away from your heart and the part you play.   136. Breathe Deep Words & Music by Sara Stutz   All you need is a quiet moment. All you need is a quiet moment. All you need is a quiet moment, go inside. Go inside.   Breathe deep, breathe deep. Breathe deep, everything's alright.   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
